We visited Ghost Town in the Sky Village in Maggie Valley North Carolina and looked around at what is left. We have great memories of visiting Maggie Valley growing up. Maggie Valley, situated in North Carolina's stunning Great Smoky Mountains, is known for its unrivaled location and friendly, small-town character. Do you. remember Ghost Town in the Sky? Now the closed down Ghost Town Village. Nearby, the forested Great Smoky Mountains National Park is home to wildflowers and black bears. Paths include the Deep Creek Trail, which passes waterfalls. Cataloochee Ski Area has slopes and trails. The Wheels Through Time Museum has vintage motorcycles and rare cars. Blocks painted with vivid quilt patterns dot barns and buildings along the Haywood County Quilt Trails. Whats in Maggie Valley North Carolina? Will Ghost Town in the Sky Village ever open again? ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click "Show More"

I remember going to Maggie Valley, Cherokee and Ghost Town with my family many, many years ago. When I was young Cherokee was the place to go and you just traveled through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to get to Cherokee. How times have changed. I enjoy your videos and really appreciate you both proclaiming your faith openly. Wishing you many blessings.

Best memories of riding that ski lift to the top of the mountain. My Mom and her friend were scared of the ski lift so they rode the train. It looked like it went straight up the side of the mountain! And the cowboys at the top doing their shows. I miss it all!

Oh my goodness, I've always wondered if Ghost Town was still around. Sad to find out it's not. My husband and I went there many times before and after we married in '71. Kids from '74 - '85 always enjoyed it, too, when we would bring them. We always took the chair left, and got our picture taken and then you could buy it when you got to the top. The saloons with the can-can dancers and the daily gunfights were all so special. A couple of places to have pictures made in all the western clothes and hats. In the later years that we went, there was amusement rides in an area that were a lot of fun. The whole experience was great. Thanks for this video!

I love Maggie Valley!! When we go to the Smokey’s we always visit Maggie Valley. Ive been to Ghost Town in the sky a few times as a kid, late 60’s and 70’s. We actually got to take our kids in the early 90’s. I’m so glad they got to experience it before it closed. I wish they would reopen it just as it was back then.

What a wonderful representation you’ve given our sweet, little valley town. Thank You! I’m so happy you enjoyed your day here. So many people loved Ghost Town. It currently is in talks & perhaps new ownership. An article in the paper last month told us that news. Since I’ve lived here that’s happened twice before & nothing ever came of it. We’ll see. We are so blessed to live here. Karen, a week from Sat we’re taking a short trip to Lancaster, PA to see Esther at Sight & Sound. But, thanks to you, we’re going to make a short stop to Big Stone Gap so I can relive those beautiful books. 🥰

I remember my first trip to Maggie Valley and Ghost Town was in 1963. My family usually would go every couple years or so, living in upstate SC. As a kid I loved the gunfights and the real look western town. I loved riding the chairlift and even rode the incline a few times. If I remember correctly they added amusement rides in the later years. I hated it had closed by the time my kids were able to go. Great childhood memories for me. Great video.

Wheels Through Time has to be one of the best attractions in Maggie Valley! I spent 4 1/2 hours there this past fall and I could've spent the whole day at least! They have some of the rarest motorcycles in the country there. The family and staff are awesome too. Sad so many of these wonderful, simple, attractions have fallen by the wayside. We had two such parks on either side of my hometown and one was put out of business by the other, which became a six flags...Having said this, Maggie Valley is a charming valley too, so pretty.

Hey I really enjoyed this video!! My wife and I came here on our honeymoon July 28th 1979. I told Mary my wife that it looked stormy toward the top of the mountain when we were getting on the sky lift to go up. We have the pictures to show today taken from a kodak instamatic 110. When got about a little over half way up it came the awfulest storm of wind and rain and the wind blew so hard that the seat was swaying in the wind. The rain poured down and when we got off we were completely soaked and water was squishing out of our shoes when we walked. We will never forget that experience. I remember the people coming down the hill looked over at us laughing saying good luck, they knew we were going to get soaked. Thanks for this tour.

Seeing Maggie Valley, especially Ghost Town in the Sky, brought tears to my eyes. Our family went there when I was a child. I was around 9 or 10, and it would have been around 1965, not long after it first opened. No rides back then, but I remember having a Coke in the "saloon", watching the gunfight, and riding the tram. Back then they had the tram and the chairlift. Great, great memories, but also sad as my brother and parents are gone. Thank you for the travels down memory lane!

I can relate to your story so much as my dad took me and my twin brother as well between the ages of 7 and 10 I'm 49 the 15th of July. Me, my wife,Daughter & oldest grandson just went there and visited July 11th 2022 on our way home from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennessee. It brought back so many memories😊 my dad passed in 1998🙏 & this is a memory I will never forget our trip to Ghost Town Maggie Valley in the sky I remember being scared of the gun show and chair lift. Y'all take care ps. Love the video👍🏻

So sad that ghost town in the sky has come to that , an old shell of the past. I remember my parents taking myself and my brothers back in 1977 watching the shootout in the street and riding all the rides. Now at 53 i took my kids up there about 17 yrs ago and GT was closed but they had a place on the opposite side of the road for tubing down the hill in January. Also remember bryson city had a train ride that took you on a tour and saw where they made the movie fugitive with Harrison ford. The smokies is just a beautiful place it takes the stress away from you and does something to your soul . Thanks for sharing👍👍

Enjoyed this area in th 70's, rode th rail car upto th top with family. This was our 1st vacation as a family. It was very entertaining with all th western town an shoot outs being displayed , even in th rain. My young daughter got soaked in th rain an we had to buy her a dry outfit b4 we took th rest of GHOST TOWN in....sadly it's only a memory now but we did spend a week in Maggie Valley in our RV for our 46th anniversary in 2012 an re-lived many memories of our 1st family vacation. Thanks for this revisit today...

Some of these old places I have pics of me in front of when I was a child .. Some w my Parents who have both passed away. I have been able to watch this and show my own babies places my Parents took me when I was the oldest age.. He was amazed. My children never got to meet my parents, they are 10, 3 and 1.. So the 2 oldest got to see things I experienced w my mom and dad and what adventures they took me on. Including ghost town.. The chair lift.. Oh my and I have pics of me on those horses .. Oh my heart!! What a precious walk down memory lane.
